Can he survive? As spirits soar and morale plummets amidst the rise of prohibition, a dark shadow looms.

A Hobo's Code which gives Vincent an advantage and lessons on how to avoid danger and an ominous threat whispered about in the shadows...the Moon King. Perhaps, with grit and a few helping hands, he can forge a new path and mold himself into the man he aspires to be. However, Vincent is about to learn that not all monsters live in books...
